    Olympia OB-5 versus OB-3 acoustic bass

    Does anyone know the difference between the rare OB-5 and the common OB-3? I have a few Tacoma guitars and know about as much about their history and products as anyone. Today I received an Olympia OB-5 CE6/SB. I've only found two other OB-5's on the web and they are also sunbursts. I'm very...

    Westboro Basstist Church

    Came across this and couldn't find that it had been previously posted. Normally I'm against mindless hatred but in this case I see their point.

    Muddy or tight? B strings and low frequencies.

    I've noted the many threads in which the B string in particular and low notes in general are described as muddy and solutions are sought. I've wondered about disagreements over the same model bass and in general have assumed that getting a tight sound meant hearing less of the fundamental and...

    Building cabs for Bag End speakers

    While waiting for another speaker to do my TL606 project I came across some Bag End speakers from a university acoustic lab: E-15 and E-15X without a xover so I'm going to do the Bag End cabs first. Other threads explained general cabinet construction with 1/2" plywood and cross bracing. The...

    Ocean bass club

    Since Cort only made the Ocean basses for Guitar Center for less than two years I figured I'd join the Cort Club. However, I was ridden out on a rail by several members who insisted the the Ocean TB70 was completely different from the Cort Artisan A4 because the Artisan body had hand sanded...

    Bernstein presents the history of western music

    I just had the pleasure of viewing this 1957 TV show and hope others will enjoy and learn from it. "Bernstein uses easily visualized analogies to baseball and numerous more or less familiar symphonic passages to explain basic music theory—tonality, harmonics, chord structure, scale patterns...

    Building a lighter TL606

    Having very slowly learned a little bit about a variety of subjects on this forum I wish to embark on a new sea of ignorance. I want to build a speaker cabinet and thought I would start with a simple one, the ubiquitous TL-606. I have been unable to find any plans other than the original EV one...

    Can I use a PA speaker cabinet for my bass?

    Noob here, life-long drummer, long time rhythm guitarist with an opportunity to play bass. I'm also a stereophile and old, so I have the stubborn determination that you need a BIG cabinet for proper lows. I think of the bass reproduction in my old Bozak Concerto speakers. I've also noticed...

    Greetings from the Pacific NW

    I'm retired now, played mostly amateur drums and rhythm guitar for three decades off and on. Once about twenty years ago I filled in on bass and liked it. Now my neighbor wants to start a blues band and I told him I'd play bass. So I've been doing a lot of reading and working on guitar while...
